    Slate bolts

    If you mean slate screws then try starting a bit high to compensate for the tightening. If you glue the seams you only need to tighten screws snugg. If you over tighten you will probably strip them out. If you mean the seams are changing when you tighten rail bolts. Then you should take...

    Checking the Setup

    If i were you i'd ask them there techniques before hand because once they are there its to late. I think the most important things to ask would be 1 - do they use machinists level 2 - do they superglue seams 3 - what do they use to seal seams If they answer correctly to those three questions...
